Description
CLIMA.AML seeks to assertively answer the need for climate change adaptation at the local level. The purpose of the project is to learn about the patterns associated to climate change and its impacts on local communities. CLIMA.AML seeks to create an integrated solution for weather monitoring through a metropolitan network of certified sensors and an online platform for information query. This project also intends to contribute to an information model capable of being replicated in other municipalities or intermunicipal agencies, which supports the monitoring of parameters and promotes local resilience.
Summary of project results
The project ‘CLIMA.AML: Metropolitan Meteorological Monitoring and Alert Network’ pursues the general objectives of the EEA GRANTS and the ‘Environment Program’. The CLIMA.AML project, within the priority area ''Operationalization of Strategies and Adaptation Plan to Climate Change at a local scale'', aims to implement some of the adaptation measures foreseen in the Metropolitan Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (PMAAC- AML), in close conjunction with the vulnerabilities and measures identified in the National Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change 2020 (ENAAC 2020) and the Action Program for Adaptation to Climate Change (P-3AC).
The project ‘CLIMA.AML: Metropolitan Meteorological Monitoring and Alert Network’ aimed to create an integrated solution for meteorological monitoring in an urban context. It was implemented through a metropolitan network of 18 meteorological stations, one in each of the AML municipalities, 16 urban measurement micro-sensors, and an online platform (https://clima.aml.pt), which analyzes, in time, real, all essential data and information to support the monitoring and evaluation of meteorological data.
CLIMA.AML had the involvement of the 18 AML municipalities. AML, as promoter of the project, the institutional partnership of BIOTEXT and RAMBOLL (Norwegian entities), the Municipal Chambers of Almada and Lisbon, as well as Cascais Ambiente and the Center for Regional and Urban Studies and Development (CEDRU) . The CLIMA.AML project also had institutional support from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA), the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Network of Municipalities for Local Adaptation to Climate Change. These entities contributed with their accumulated experience regarding the collection and availability of meteorological data on a local scale, and the evolution of impacts and events resulting from climate change, which, progressively, have been registered with greater intensity in the Lisbon metropolitan area.
